chapter fourteen: night

Amanda and Eric were both fast asleep in Simon’s car as they drove home from the cinema. Amanda had been nodding off to sleep when Simon had pulled up to a gas pump at a gas station and was asleep by the time he got back in the car and began to drive. Eric had been sleeping ever since they pulled out of the cinema parking lot and that had been forty five minutes ago.

Simon pulled into the driveway of his house and he carried Eric into his room before carrying Amanda in his arms into the house. He put Amanda down on their bed and returned to Eric’s bedroom. Simon got Eric changed into a pair of pyjamas and Simon went back into the bedroom he shared with Amanda often where Amanda was.

She had been spending the nights at Simon’s house so often that she had practically moved him so she had a few pairs of pyjamas in Simon’s dresser as well as spare knickers and a few spare outfits. Simon got out one of Amanda’s nightgowns and a pair of knickers. He undressed AManda carefully so he didn’t wake her and kissed her stomach before he took Amanda’s knickers and jeans off of her.

Amanda was only a couple of months pregnant with their child and she was already beginning to show. She had a small curve to her stomach because of the baby growing in Amanda’s uterus. Simon put the fresh pair of knickers onto Amanda and then put the nightgown over her head and her arms through the holes. He pulled the blankets over Amanda and she turned onto her side, her prefered sleeping position.

Simon tugged off his shirt, jeans, and socks leaving him just in his boxers. He slipped into bed, putting his arms around Amanda’s waist and kissed her cheek before he fell asleep

When Amanda awoke, she was being cuddled by Simon and noticed that he had changed her into a nightgown last night. Simon was still asleep so Amanda slipped out of his arms and put on Simon’s robe that was hanging on the back of their bedroom door. Amanda went downstairs as silently as she could as it was only around seven thirty in the morning so nobody else was awake in the house.

She got out the ingredients carefully so she didn’t wake Eric as his bedroom was above the kitchen. As Amanda was mixing the batter for pancakes, Eric came into the kitchen and tried to look over the counter to see what Amanda was making for breakfast.

“What’cha making?” Eric asked sleepily to Amanda and then asked, “can I help?”

“Pancakes. Of course you can. Do you want pancakes with blueberries or pancakes with chocolate chip?” Amanda asked the little boy in reply.

“Both!” Eric said. “I wanna put them in!”

Amanda got out blueberries from the refrigerator and then got out the bag of chocolate chips from where the snacks were kept in the kitchen. She lifted Eric onto her hip and he took the half filled container of blueberries in his small hands, pouring the entire contents of the container into the batter. He then took the bag of chocolate chips and took out small handfuls, placing each one in the bowl of pancake batter.

When Amanda was beginning to cook the pancakes, Simon came into the kitchen to find Eric seated on Amanda’s hip while she made breakfast. It was a cute scene for Simon to see because it meant Amanda was already ready to be a mother in several months time and she was treating Eric like she had given birth to Simon’s son herself.

“Good morning, love. I see you stole my bathrobe,” Simon said as Amanda flipped the third pancake on the griddle. He put his arms around her and Eric and cuddle them while Amanda flipped the fourth pancake on the griddle.

“Good morning, Simon. I let Eric pick what went inside of the pancake batter so I hope that you like blueberry and chocolate chip pancakes.”

“Eric and I have similar tastes,” Simon replied. “Do you want me to make the fake bacon in the fridge?”

“Sure and please stop calling it fake bacon. It’s vegetarian bacon,” responded Amanda. Amanda had been a vegetarian since she was thirteen and was trying to get Simon to eat healthier cooking than his bachelor cooking.

“I’m not going to stop, Mandy,” Simon replied with a grin as he got out the vegetarian bacon from the refrigerator, took it out of the packaging, getting a pan down from above the sink, and putting the vegetarian bacon in it on the stove.

Amanda flipped the last few pancakes onto a plate and took Eric down from her hip. He ran to his seat at the table so Amanda put a plate of cut up pancake on a plate in front of Eric with a fork.

Eric started to eat as Amanda turned off the griddle and unplugged it so it could cool down from Amanda using it to cook the pancakes. Amanda gave Simon a plate of pancakes as he cooked what he had dubbed, the first time he had gone grocery shopping with Amanda, the fake bacon. Simon stole a kiss on Amanda’s cheek as she passed him again so she could sit down with her plate of pancakes.

Simon came a couple of minutes later to the table with the plate of bacon and he placed it on the table. Amanda took a couple of pieces, giving one to Eric, telling him it was good and he was going to like it. Eric took a bite of the bacon, chewed it a couple of times, and promptly spit it out onto his plate.

“Ew!” Eric said. “You wied!”

“I like it,” Amanda said, “and the last time you ate something I gave you to try, you liked it.”

Simon started to laugh and then he couldn’t stop. Amanda had no clue as to what made Eric like new foods and she was going to have Simon’s child. They were almost like a family now.
